The Night After the Engagement Party

**Scene: The Spencer Family Home**

Vivian sits in her bedroom, staring out the window. The moonlight streams in, casting a soft glow around her. She is lost in thought, reflecting on the events of the engagement party. Kate enters the room quietly, noticing Vivian's distant expression.

**Kate:** (gently) "Vivian, you seem troubled. Is everything alright?"

**Vivian:** (sighs deeply) "I just don’t know, Kate. Everything feels so wrong. Vincent… he’s not who I thought he was. And now I’m engaged to him. I’m not sure I can go through with it."

**Kate:** "You don’t have to go through with it, Vivian. An engagement isn’t a contract written in stone. You can call it off if your heart isn’t in it."

**Vivian:** (turning to face Kate, eyes filled with uncertainty) "But what would society say? What would people think of me?"

**Kate:** (smiling reassuringly) "Society always talks, Vivian. It’s in their nature. But true love… true love is rare. It’s worth fighting for, even against the whispers and gossip of others."

Vivian nods slowly, the weight of Kate's words sinking in.

**Kate:** "Besides, you need to know something. I overheard Vincent talking to Amelia in the garden. He’s still in love with her. His engagement to you is… complicated. It’s not about love."

**Vivian:** (softly) "I never wanted a loveless marriage. I just… I don’t want to end up alone, Kate."

**Kate:** "You won’t be alone, Vivian. Not if you follow your heart. And if calling off this engagement is what you need to do, then do it. I promise you, everything will be alright."

Vivian takes a deep breath, feeling a mixture of relief and resolve.

**Vivian:** "Thank you, Kate. I think… I think you’re right. I need to speak to Vincent. I need to do this for myself."

**The Next Day: Augusta and Albert Whitmore’s Wedding**

**Scene: The Church of St. Mary, Mayfair**

The church is abuzz with excitement. It’s the first wedding of the season, and all of society has turned out to witness the union of Augusta Bassett and Albert Whitmore. The interior is decorated lavishly with flowers, and sunlight streams through the stained-glass windows, casting colorful patterns on the floor.

Jasper, standing among the groomsmen, looks dashing in his formal attire. His eyes, however, keep straying to Vivian, who sits among the Spencer family. She looks radiant in her elegant gown, her face serene yet touched with a hint of sadness. Jasper's heart aches as he watches her, longing for the connection they once shared.

As the ceremony concludes, the guests make their way to the Whitmore Palace for the reception.

**Scene: Whitmore Palace Garden**

The reception is in full swing. Eleanor and Leonard Radcliffe are dancing, moving effortlessly together with a natural grace. The guests around them whisper excitedly, speculating that they might be the next couple to announce their engagement.

Eugene and Kate, surprisingly, are not bickering as usual. They sit together at a table, talking quietly, their usual tension replaced by a calm understanding. The society is abuzz with curiosity, wondering what has changed between the two.

Amelia Bassett stands near the edge of the dance floor, watching Vincent carefully. She knows his heart belongs to her, despite his engagement to Vivian. Vincent, sensing Amelia’s gaze, approaches her, his face conflicted.
